How would you design Red Mage in FFXIV?

Not sure how old these posts are, but I'd like to weigh in. I haven't played all that long but as a veteran to Final Fantasy as a series, I'd place Red Mage in the Tank category for XIV. Now I know a lot of players out there are "No it needs to be DPS" or "Refresh + Haste onry plz thx die." But have you all looked at Dark Knight? it had never been a tank before XIV, and what about White Mage? Since when has the class ever started with Stone? and for what reason did WHM start off as a Conjurer? isn't that more on the Summoner line? Also Ninja is DPS and not a Tank like in XI. I guess what I'm getting at is that you kinda have to throw what you know the jobs of the more traditional Final Fantasy out the window when it comes to FFXIV.

As it is now and what I have seen, FFXIV is a rather simple game in the terms of difficulty and I have yet to see a need for crowd control, although I have seen one mage sleep a mob. Anyways, I feel like I'm trailing off subject...
